It’s also claimed that Vasquez, 37, is ‘happily taken’ and currently dating a Brit who works in real estate, and that they have been ‘in a serious relationship’ for ‘several months’.The insider added that Depp has grown close to his entire team but there is nothing more to it.A clip of Vasquez, which went viral this week and has been liked over 4.5 million times on TikTok, is a montage of the attorney repeatedly objecting to Heard’s legal team’s questioning during the trial. The lawyer attended the University of Southern California and graduated magna cum laude with a BA in communication and political science in 2006.
